Following the first warm-up match, Arsenal played two more warm-up matches.
They played against Barcelona in La Liga and Leverkusen in Bundesliga.
The warm-up match between Arsenal and Barcelona undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, but the two sides did not open the viewing channel. This is only an internal warm-up match.
Arsenal chose to play a warm-up match with Barcelona, mainly because of the relationship with Manchester City.
And Barcelona also want to test their own strength.
No one knows how the game will progress, but the two sides directly evolved into a goal battle.
The score soared to 5:5.
Barcelona side, Suarez capped, Messi scored twice.
Arsenal, Lukaku, Wilshere, Mane, Aubameyang and Giroud who came off the bench are blooming in many ways.
Lucky got four assists!
Although no video data was provided, it can be seen that this must be a fight between dragons and tigers just by looking at the score.
After this game, Arsenal played the last warm-up match with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. After this game, Arsenal will prepare for the first round of the season.
This game is also the only warm-up match Arsenal won.
Win Leverkusen 2:1, Lucky scored two dollars.
At this point, Arsenal's pre-season warm-up matches are all over.
On August 5, 2017, there is only one week left before the league opener.
During this period, all parties are also rushing to carry out final debugging.
This week's Community Shield Cup has become a battle for the opening game of the Premier League.
Last season's Premier League champion Manchester City played against the FA Cup champion Liverpool.
Guardiola's team fought fiercely with Klopp's players for 90 minutes. In the end, Liverpool won the Community Shield trophy, which was a good start.
Liverpool ranked fifth in the standings last season, but because Arsenal won the Europa League and directly participated in the UEFA Champions League group stage, the league qualifications were moved forward, and Liverpool also won the Champions League qualifying round.
But they have to play in the group in advance to qualify for the play-offs, but in Liverpool's state, there is no problem.
If all goes well, the Premier League will have five teams participating in the Champions League group stage.
After the end of the Community Shield, all the teams have already begun intense preparations for the first round of the Premier League.
Arsenal is the Premier League opener, they will face Leicester City in the first round.
Last season, Leicester City performed poorly as the defending champion of the Premier League. Although they were not relegated, they lost a large part of public opinion and popularity.
And after the heat of the so-called Leicester City miracle subsides, it can't continue to bring any help to this team.
But taking advantage of the enthusiasm, Leicester City is also making a lot of money, and it is estimated that it belongs to the healthiest club in the Premier League financially.
After all, many teams from the Premier League giants this season are another big-investment transfer model.
Arsenal's transfers are all based on Giroud alone. Although the investment is not much, it is also a lot.
However, combining some loaned and sold players, the cost will be less than planned.
After Mourinho gained the transfer power, he stopped spending money lavishly, but began to count carefully.
Although there is no previous standard king gimmick, this Arsenal does not need to attract attention in this way.
Based on their performance last season and their status as Europa League champions, although Arsenal ranked fourth in the league standings last season, they still belong to the first echelon in the Champions League.
But before that, Arsenal still needs to solve a problem.
'Lubricant'!
"Judging from the performance of the last three games, Wilshere and Ramsey are the best options for this role, and compared to Wilshere, the cooperation between Ramsey, Giroud and the winger To be more tacit."
Arteta said; "I think we should focus on cultivating Ramsey's fit with this set of tactics."
"I am the same way. If Ramsey can join this lineup, then we will have more flexibility in the midfield position. It is not unrelated to the rotation of Ramsey and Wilshere."
Coaches express their views.
And Mourinho is staring at the back defense video of the game.
In the video, Wilshere and Ramsey have cooperating shots.
In cooperation, Wilshere and Ramsey's choices are completely different.
Ramsey will choose to play more **** for the two wings to help the center attract firepower.
But Wilshere directly charged into the battle, playing simpler, but also more impactful.
But the success rate is not high.
After a moment of contemplation, Mourinho waved his hands and said, "That's all for today's discussion. As for who will play this role, I still need to think about it."
After finishing speaking, Mourinho said to Arteta; "Call me Wilshere!"
Five minutes later, Wilshere came to Mourinho's office.
Wilshere was a little apprehensive. After all, anyone who was called to the head coach's office alone had this mentality.
But Wilshere racked his brains and couldn't figure out what mistake he had made.
"sit down!"
Mourinho invited Wilshere to sit down, and immediately pulled out a laptop from the side, pressed the Enter key, and the video on the screen began to play.
The quality of the video is a bit old. This is a video of Wilshere playing football seven years ago.
In the video, Wilshere's feet are brilliant, and he is extremely sharp and chic among others.
As a rare technical school among British players, the former Wilshere was a pure breakthrough player.
Wilshere didn't understand why Mourinho showed this video to himself, he looked up suspiciously.
Mourinho pointed to the laptop and said, "If you are allowed to play like before, how sure are you?"
"Playing like before?" Hearing this, Wilshere pondered.
After the transformation, Wilshere is now a midfielder who is more inclined to organize the rhythm. Although there are occasional breakthroughs, they will not be done frequently.
This is very different from his age and changes in his style of play.
It is not easy for him to return to his previous style.
"I don't have much confidence!" Wilshere said bluntly, and then added; "But I can try."
He didn't dare to refuse, the ghost knows what Mourinho is thinking.
Once I refuse, I will put a question mark on what will happen to me.
Mourinho was very satisfied with Wilshere's attitude, he smiled; "I hope you will be bundled with Giroud, although the coaching staff thinks that Ramsey cooperates better with him, but what I need is not a transfer, It's a breakthrough!"
"If the most effective and sharpest counterattack is carried out in the shortest time!"
Mourinho said seriously; "You need to pierce the opponent's heart like a sharp arrow. This is the center forward I want to see retreat!"
Wilshere returned to the training ground with an extremely serious expression on his face.
Le Kai walked over and asked, "What did you say?"
Wilshere didn't hide it, sighed; "He let me play football like before."
"Before?" Lucy was puzzled.
"Breakthrough!"
Wilshere continued to sigh; "So I'm going to restart the foot frequency, change direction, and start to lose weight recently!"
At this time, Wilshere looked up and just saw the young Saka swaying from side to side in the arena, directly shaking the cumbersome Ramsey to the ground.
"Damn 17 years old!" Wilshere became more and more angry.
Le Kai smiled and patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Come on!"
I can only refuel!
Wilshere wants to win this position and continue to consolidate his main position. For this reason, he must obey Mourinho's arrangement and play the style the opponent wants.
"Mikel helped me get the equipment for training direction change, and was counting the seconds for me. It's best to help me retrieve the previous record of change of direction from the database for comparison!"
Hearing the words, Arteta nodded, turned and left.
After a while, the steering rod, disguised disc, resistance band, climbing frame and even frequency training equipment are all available.
For this, Wilshere directly praised it.
"Awesome!"
Arteta smiled and said: "Then let's start!"
Beep!
The whistle sounded, and Wilshere began to practice hard foot frequency and change of direction.
As for Arteta, it is to help the opponent record.
In fact, when Mourinho called Wilshere over, he basically understood that Mourinho prefers Wilshere's sharp attacking style compared to Ramsey's style.
For this reason, he is also ready!
After all, the assistant coach's job is to help the head coach share the work pressure.
